Conor Benn has shared his thoughts on Gervonta Davis’s arrest for claims of domestic abuse and attempted kidnapping.
Conor Benn (24-1, 14ko’s) states that Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28ko’s) doesn’t belong in a boxing ring after the former WBA Lightweight champion was arrested on domestic abuse and attempted kidnapping allegations.
The Baltimore born fighter has propelled himself to being one of the figureheads of American boxing.
His last outing ended in a controversial draw against Lamont Roach, with many believing that Davis was fortunate to retain his title.
His fan friendly heavy handed style has seen him stop the likes of Ryan Garcia, Mario Barrios, Isaac Cruz and Frank Martin.
However, with these serious allegations and charges against his name, his future in the sport is in jeopardy.
The man that goes by the nickname of ‘Tank’ was set to fight Jake Paul in Miami last November in an exhibition bout that would have been one of the most watched boxing events of the calendar year.
Due to the claims against Davis, Jake Paul, Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix decided to cancel the fight immediately.
Also, the WBA stripped Davis of his 135lbs title.
Conor Benn, who is in New York for meetings regarding his next fight, as well as watching Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson has shared his thoughts on the situation.
Speaking to Boxing News, Benn stated: “I’ve got sisters, I’ve got a daughter, if anyone put their hands on my daughter it’s curtains for them”.
“You put your hands on a woman as a professional fighter, it isn’t right, if someone put their hands on my daughter or my sisters they’re getting it”.
“He doesn’t belong in a boxing ring”.
